References to Files and Applications
Several application commands and scripting addition commands allow you to use the Name reference form to identify a file or an application as a parameter, including applications on remote machines connected to an AppleTalk network. AppleScript treats references to file, alias, application, machine, and zone objects differently from other references that use the Name reference form. AppleScript takes care of locating these objects, but uses the equivalent definitions in an application's dictionary (if any) to determine their characteristics.
